Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of alumina.
BACKGROUND ART [0002] The following discussion of the background art is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention only. The discussion is not an acknowledgement or admission that any of the material referred to is or was part of the common general knowledge as at the priority date of the application.
[0003] The dominant method to produce alumina is the Bayer process from Bauxite.
In the Bayer process, bauxite containing alumina and impurities of typically Fe2C>3, S1O2, and T1O2 is dried, ground, digested in sodium hydroxide under pressure. Impurities are separated by filtration, before an alumina hydroxide is precipitated and calcined to produce alumina, which is then transferred to the Hall-Heroult electrochemical cell for electrolysis to produce aluminium metal. In 1930, the typical alumina grade for bauxite was published at around 60% AI2O3, today however bauxite’s typical alumina grade is ~38 to 43% AI2O3, which shows a declining quality for the remaining unexploited bauxite deposits. In those alumina-producing countries where there is a limited or lack of local supply of easily accessible high-grade bauxite ore (e.g. China, Canada, Russia and the Middle East), industry is looking to alternative methods for producing alumina (AI2O3) from non-bauxitic, alumina-rich raw materials, such as aluminous clay.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION [0004] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method for the preparation of alumina, the method comprising the steps of:

It is to be understood that the invention includes all such variations and modifications. The invention also includes all of the steps, features, compositions and compounds referred to or indicated in the specification, individually or collectively and any and all combinations or any two or more of the steps or features.
[00042] The present invention is not to be limited in scope by the specific embodiments described herein, which are intended for the purpose of exemplification
-72018101228 24 Aug 2018 only. Functionally equivalent products, compositions and methods are clearly within the scope of the invention as described herein.
[00043] The entire disclosures of all publications (including patents, patent applications, journal articles, laboratory manuals, books, or other documents) cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference.
[00044] Throughout this specification, unless the context requires otherwise, the word comprise or variations such as comprises or comprising, will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or group of integers but not the exclusion of any other integer or group of integers.
[00045] In Figure 1 there is shown a process for the production of alumina. All of the unit operations in the process are designed to operate continuously with full process instrumentation and control being provided for.
[00046] Run-of-mine (ROM) un-beneficiated ore 12 is concentrated to a minimum 27 % aluminium as alumina by means of physical methods such as drum scrubbing 14 the ore to separate aluminous and gangue material and screening 16 to obtain particle sizes less than about 0.3 mm. The beneficiated ore having at least 27 % alumina is pressure filtered/tube filtered 18 to form a filter cake.
[00047] The aluminous ore filter cake is dried in a flash drying column 20 from where it is transferred for calcination in a gas fired kiln 22 operating at 700 °C for a residence time of 15 minutes to 60 minutes, more preferably 60 minutes.
[00048] The calcined aluminous ore is cooled to less than about 80 °C by means of indirect water assisted cooling system 24.
[00049] The cooled calcined aluminous ore is crushed/milled 26 to less than 300 pm and screened 28 again to remove any oversize particles or agglomerates. The ore is stored in a calcined storage area 30 before subsequent leaching.
[00050] The ground calcined ore is leached with hydrochloric acid 31 of at least 20 % strength at 105 °C in a series of acid leach vessels 32 for 30 minutes to 2 hours, preferably 1 hour to provide a leach slurry. Preferably, there are provided four leach vessels and the residence time in each vessel is about 15 minutes.
[00051] Vent gas from heating or cooling leached slurry is scrubbed in the gas scrubbing system 75.
-82018101228 24 Aug 2018 [00052] The leached slurry is cooled to 80 °C and transferred to a series of pressure filters 34 where the pregnant leach solution is separated from the solid residue. The residue solids are neutralised in neutralisation tanks 36 using sodium hydroxide, quicklime, hydrated lime or limestone or such similar alkaline media. The neutralised solid residues are filtered 38 and disposed of accordingly.
[00053] The pregnant leach solution from the pressure filters 34 is sent to a polishing filter 40 to remove any suspended solid particles and provide a clean pregnant leach solution. Preferably, there are provided two polishing filters. The pregnant leach solution from the polishing filter 40 not only contains the desired aluminium chloride but may also contain other leached impurities such as traces of iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium, sodium and potassium.
[00054] The pregnant leach solution is subjected to hydrochloric acid gas sparging 42 crystallisation to carefully crystallise aluminium chloride hexahydrate crystals by increasing the HCI concentration of the pregnant leach solution. The solubility of aluminium chloride decreases with increased HCI acid concentration. The crystallisation is conducted such that the increased acid concentration results in around 90-97 % of the aluminium being crystallised as aluminium chloride hexahydrate salt. The majority of the impurities remain in solution.
[00055] The crystallised aluminium chloride hexahydrate from the crystallisation process is filtered 46 and washed with demineralised water.
[00056] The spent liquor 50 is recycled to the leach solution and with a portion of it bled to the hydrogen chloride recovery plant 52.
[00057] The hydrogen chloride is recovered as gas in the hydrogen chloride recovery plant 52 and combined with the hydrogen chloride gas from the indirect rotary kiln roaster 64 for aluminium chloride hexahydrate crystallization. A small stream of bleed 53 from the recovery plant removes the impurities from the plant. The bleed stream is neutralised for disposal after recovering the aluminium.
[00058] The aluminium chloride hexahydrate crystals thus obtained are aluminium chloride hexahydrate crystals having purity of 99.95%.
[00059] The aluminium chloride hexahydrate crystals are subjected to roasting at a temperature up to 700 °C in a gas fired indirect rotary kiln 64. Aluminium chloride hexahydrate decomposes at the temperature to yield a mixture of aluminium hydroxide
-92018101228 24 Aug 2018 and aluminium oxide releasing hydrogen chloride vapour and steam. The hydrogen chloride vapour is recycled to a hydrogen chloride recovery plant 52.
[00060] The mixture of aluminium hydroxide and aluminium oxide obtained through the roasting process is subjected to high temperature calcining at 1100 °C to 1300 °C 68 to remove remaining water and chloride, hence and transform to alpha alumina.
[00061] Alpha alumina is cooled to near room temperature 70 .
[00062] Alumina thus obtained having purity 99.95 % is packaged in air tight paper bags with polyethylene lining of required content or bulk bags.
